After the recent blizzard of activity on the ACW ship building front I realised that this is in fact my 2,000th blog past!
Fron the gaming perspective the last of the current batch of ACW models is underway and I intend having her completed by the close of play tomorrow. It will then be a trip to Madasahatta for the great Colonial gunboat and assorted inshore miscellany build which I am really looking forward to.
Writing and maintaining the blog over the ten years and 2,000 posts has been a hugely therapeutic and beneficial experience for me and is now an essential part of my enjoyment of our hobby. I have been fortunate to gain new friends and ongoing support in my efforts in our hobby as well as during those occasional real life dramas that affect us all from time to time.
To all my occasional readers and commentators and to those that are regular followers I extend my warmest thanks and appreciation - your input has made the blog and my enjoyment of our hobby what it is today.
On with the next 2,000!

A great milestone David and I can only echo your thoughts on the benefits of Blogging. I find my daily updates a nice part of the day and can spark ideas etc that I may not have had otherwise. It's like having your own perfect magazine to dip into, several times a week.
That's a lot of posts Dave! Congrats on chap!
That's some output. Congratulations on reaching this milestone.
2,000 posts is a lot, for sure. Congratulations on sticking with it!
Congratulations on the milestone David. Here’s to many more!
Quite a milestone. Well done and here's to 3000 and beyond!
Sterling effort. Have enjoyed your journey.
A major milestone covering an amazing and varied journey through the land of wargaming. Keep it coming!

Hi Geordie,
1950’s eh? Cold War, Korea, Dien Bien Phu, Suez - there has to be a game in there somewhere!
